Hero Cosmetics earns rave reviews for its Mighty Patch, which consistently flattens whiteheads overnight, speeds healing, and prevents picking—users call it a staple. Reviews also flag limitations: patches do little for deep, under-the-skin cysts, edges can be thick or lift, and some experience residue, redness, or post-mark rings; several note comparable, cheaper hydrocolloid alternatives. Overall, Hero is considered effective and discreet (especially Invisible+), with strong post-blemish care like Rescue Balm and helpful Micropoint options, but not a cure-all.
The invisible pimple patches are nice to wear in the daytime. They are more of a matte patch so they aren’t shiny and more visible like the OG mighty patches. They are smaller in circumference because it stick around the pimple in a more secure way than the OG mighty patches do.
Rescue Balm is the best thing you can use once your pimple is healing and at that dried out, flaky stage. It really helps speed up the healing process and it doesn’t clog your pores. I love this so much that I prefer to buy the one in the extra large tube.
Finally!!! Hero Cosmetics came out with face cleansers! I’ve been loving this gentle milky cleanser. It’s creamy and lightly lathers up. I love that it includes the Cica ingredient for my sensitive and reactive skin. My skin feels comfortable after I rinse off without leaving my skin feeling stripped or tight. I also love that it’s a large size and will last me a long time!
I admit I was a little hesitant at first.
I thought this would solve a problem I have quite often being that I have SO many breakouts at one time that I go through an entire sheet of mighty patches easily in one day. My initial hesitation was that the Mighty Shield would be a good way to protect my pimple but wouldn't help bring to a head the same way the OG mighty patches do. I was WRONG! I had a deep pimple for days that never came to a head and after trying Mighty Shield on it one time it completely worked! It not only protected it but also completely brought to a head and now my pimple is finally healing! I’m really impressed. It can take a little getting used to how much you need to apply and it takes a little time to dry. It’s a great alternative to the OG pimple patches.
